Quantitative Corpus Linguistic Study on Indonesian Causative Rival Affixes PER- and -KAN

Funding period : 2021- Active

Abstrak

Collaborator: Karlina Denistia, PhD (Universitas Sebelas Maret)


Overview

This study investigates the semantic, formal, and distributional constraints on the use of per- and -kan as rival affixes in deriving causative transitive verbs from adjective bases (cf. Sneddon et al., 2010, p. 103). We also investigate the productivity of the two affixes. We adopt quantitative corpus linguistic methodology and the usage-based, constructional approaches (project webpage on figshare). Two preliminary works related to this project can be seen in Rajeg & Rajeg (2017, 2019). (list of my other research)


Update/Progress

July 15, 2021: We delivered a plenary talk at KOLITA 19 for our study (Rajeg & Denistia 2021b) on the Distinctive Collexeme Analysis of PER- and -KAN.


May 21, 2021: We presented our study (Rajeg & Denistia 2021a) on the productivity of Causative PER- and -KAN at the ISMIL 24 & ISLOJ 8 joint conferences.


February 2021: We submitted an abstract for a study in productivity of Causative PER- and -KAN to ISMIL 24. (UPDATE: abstract got accepted [2 March 2021])


January 2021: We submitted an abstract for a distinctive collexeme analysis on Causative PER- and -KAN to KOLITA 19. (UPDATE: abstract got accepted [15 March 2021] and we are invited to deliver a plenary talk for the paper)
